The SND Christmas Show and Season Finale. Live from England!

I’m excited about our final Sunday Night Discussions show of the season at 8p central on the 22nd.  This week we’ll have two guests live from England with us.  One of them is an incredibly encouraging guy named Larry Kineman who makes Santa feel boring.  I’ve known Larry since the summer of 1988 when I worked with him on a college mission trip to Chile and he’s always been a huge blessing to me and many others around the world.  For our time this week we’ll continue our conversation and questions surrounding Christian influence in culture with a special emphasis on how that can take place in Britain and any post-modern setting.  While Larry is actually a Yank, he’s been in the United Kingdom for over 20 years and he’ll be joined by Ryan Muliette who is from the UK and has been working for over a year to plant a church from scratch in an area with little or no Christian influence at all.  If you have any questions from last week’s show that you’d like more commentary on or any specific questions for Larry or Ryan, feel free to send those in early and we’ll try to address them on the show.  These two men have done a GREAT job of living out the Kingdom of God and sharing the love of Christ in the UK.

 

For Google + users, you will be able to send in questions live during the show on the SND page.  So make plans now to join us for what’s going to be a great show and conclusion to our trial season of Sunday Night Discussions.  We’ll even have one final free resource to give away.  See you then.

SND Tonight at 8p central. “Where in the World are you?”

In this week’s show we will look at world views and consider how they influence our beliefs, thinking, and actions. We will ask how we arrive at our understanding of the world and what ramifications accompany those paradigms.  If you have a Google + account you can also log into our SND page and send in questions.  So grab a friend and come and see.  Look forward to seeing you live at 8p central tonight.

Hope for the LGBT Community and Everyone Else. (From a woman who knows.)

In light of some recent social discussions a friend sent me the clip below which is incredibly timely and pertinent for our day.  The speaker in the clip is an ex-lesbian and feminist scholar.  I’m particularly recommending her story for everyone trying to honestly discern truth verses myth in our modern cultural debate in Europe and the West over sexual identity and the subsequent ramifications.  Dr. Butterfield is a brilliant, rational thinking, and deeply theological woman.  In this lecture she gives some serious and loving answers to legitimate questions as she speaks with the experience of having come from the LGBT community and a post-modern world view.  I linked an article about Dr. Butterfield on my Face Book page several months ago, but decided to include her story here because of the way she so meticulously addresses the question at a root level in the lecture.  Here are at least four points that immediately came to mind when I reviewed the clip: (more…)
